Correlation reception of a diffraction sound field in an oceanic waveguide

Intensity matched processing is considered for a diffracted signal when the object is detected by the main lobe of the shadow scattered sound field. The consideration is based on the few-parameter model that adequately describes the characteristics of the desired signal. It is shown that, in the absence of noise and fluctuations in the parameters of the medium, the proposed algorithm provides the determination of the exact parameters of the signal and the moving object.
